Acer auto config

I have an acer flat panel LCD moniter (not sure which one) that has worked perectly for three years. Then one day (with no new hardware or software added to the computer) it decides that it will keep flicking up with 'auto config please wait which flashes on and off the screen. THIS IS ANOYING AS HELL. I'v checked that the resolution is set to 1280x1240, and the refresh rate is 60Hz

    I too have an Acer X193W and want to stop the "Auto Config" from appearing... can someone help please!!!

    I worked out with problem. To fix all you need is a good hard FLICK on the auto-config button. If not a wack with something harder. There must have been something inside not quite right, perhaps something sticking it down. Trying to pull it out didn't work, but a HARD flick did the trick for me.

Acer AL 1916 Ab driver

NO PC stated at all, wow.
NO OS stated, wow, 2. (you skipped the top 2 inputs)
this driver, it is config file (the GPU chip needs driver)
that tells your unstated OS what limits the screen has
1280 x 1024 maximum resolution (this is the limit)!
all you do is go to unstated OS , safe mode and set that to that limit.
and bingo it works. (if running Linux say so )
a very old monitor, old square screen 4:5 legacy,.
most are dead this old.
if running W7 to w10 now, (unstated)
step 1 is make sure PC is web connected first. this allows the PC to find the montor config file at ms.com PnP servers. and work.
this monitor is 10 year old today, 2008 made.


here are your offical (not acer, ask them)
config files.
at ms.com
vista and up supported ONlY

I just purchased a acer moniter ...I plugged it in and the picture looks a little distorted (my grand daughter says I am not use to the new flat screen) on the moniter was a film cover that said make sure...

If your on XP you can right click on the empty desktop and go to properties, Under the settings tab you will find options for screen resolutions. If your on Vista or 7 you right click on empty desktop space and go to screen resolution, There again you will easily find your settings for your screen resolution. Click apply and then click OK after that lay back and enjoy your screens clarity.

I have an HP Pavilon, Laptop and an Acer Monito

you can buy a lcd cable to connect your laptop and your acer moniter.

if your moniter is a crt then no need to buy you can use the default cable.

if its a lcd the cable is given in that package. you can use it.
you can see a vga port in your laptop with blue colour that is the connector for moniter and your laptop

Acer x193w LCD Monitor repeatedly auto configures.

Here is a link to get the manual:

http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/data/7117/documents/X193W%20(Qisda)%20user's%20manual.pdf

Starting on page 15 are the directions for the monitor controls. Page 17 indicates a "RESET" feture to Clear the Old-Statuses of "Auto-Configuration". There are quite a number of setting for this monitor.

New acer 19 " moniter plug in will not turn on ?

Hi,
Try other outlet, check the power cord if it contacted the monitor. If nothing happened, maybe it's factory defect, since it still under warranty, you can still change it.
Thanks
